  1. A statistical study of convective and dynamic instabilities in the polar upper mesosphere above Tromsø Reviewed International coauthorship International journal

    Language:English   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)   Publisher:Springer  

    We have studied the convective (or static) and dynamic instabilities between 80 and 100 km above Tromsø (69.6° N, 19.2° E) using temperature and wind data of 6 min and 1 km resolutions primarily almost over a solar cycle obtained with the sodium lidar at Tromsø. First, we have calculated Brunt–Väisälä frequency (N) for 339 nights obtained from October 2010 to December 2019, and the Richardson number (Ri) for 210 nights obtained between October 2012 to December 2019. Second, using those values (N and Ri), we have calculated probabilities of the convective instability (N2 < 0) and the dynamic instability (0 ≤ Ri < 0.25) that can be used for proxies for evaluating the atmospheric stability. The probability of the convective instability varies from about 1% to 24% with a mean value of 9%, and that of the dynamic instability varies from 4 to 20% with a mean value of 10%. Third, we have compared these probabilities with the F10.7 index and local K-index. The probability of the convective instability shows a dependence (its correlation coefficient of 0.45) of the geomagnetic activity (local K-index) between 94 and 100 km, suggesting an auroral influence on the atmospheric stability. The probability of the dynamic instability shows a solar cycle dependence (its correlation coefficient being 0.54). The probability of the dynamic instability shows the dependence of the 12 h wave amplitude (meridional and zonal wind components) (C.C. = 0.52). The averaged potential energy of gravity waves shows decrease with height between 81 and 89 km, suggesting that dissipation of gravity waves plays an important role (at least partly) in causing the convective instability below 89 km. The probability of the convective instability at Tromsø appears to be higher than that at middle/low latitudes, while the probability of the dynamic instability is similar to that at middle/low latitudes.

    To study the spatial structure of midlatitude sporadic E (Es) layers, the ultraviolet resonant scattering by magnesium ions (Mg+) in an Es layer was observed during the evening twilight with the Magnesium Ion Imager (MII) on the sounding rocket launched from the Uchinoura Space Center in Kagoshima, Japan. The in situ electron density measured by an onboard impedance probe showed that the Es layer was located at an altitude of 100 km during both the ascent and descent of the flight. Simultaneous observation with a ground-based ionosonde at Yamagawa identified the signature of horizontally “patchy" structures in the Es layer. The MII successfully scanned the horizontal Mg+ density perturbations in the Es layer and found that they had patchy and frontal structures. The horizontal scale and alignment of the observed frontal structure is generally consistent with a proposed theory. To our knowledge, this is the first observation of the two-dimensional horizontal structure of Mg+ in an Es layer.

    Ion outflow from the high‐latitude ionosphere is a well‐known phenomenon and an important source of plasma for the magnetosphere. It is also well known that pumping the ionosphere with high‐power high‐frequency radio waves causes electron heating. On a few occasions, this has been accompanied by artificially induced ion upwelling. We analyze such a controlled experiment at EISCAT up to 600 km altitude. The pump‐enhanced electron temperatures reached up to ∼4000 K above 350 km, and ion upwelling reached up to ∼300 m/s above 500 km altitude. The pump‐induced electron pressure gradient can explain the ion velocity below 450 km. Between 450 and 600 km the electron pressure gradient correlates equally with ion acceleration and ion velocity, which represents the transition altitude to free ion acceleration. The electron gas pressure gradient can explain ion upwelling, at least up to 600 km altitude. In addition, such active experiments open the possibility to estimating the F layer ion‐neutral collision frequency and neutral density with altitude from ground‐based observations.

    Simultaneous observations were conducted with 1 Introduction a Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) at a wavelength of
    557.7 nm, an all-sky camera at a wavelength of 557.7 nm, and the European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) UHF radar during the Dynamics and Energetics of the Lower Thermosphere in Aurora 2 (DELTA-2) campaign in January 2009. This paper concentrated on two events during periods of pulsating au- rora. The lower-thermospheric wind velocity measured with the FPI showed obvious fluctuations in both vertical and hor- izontal components. Of particular interest is that the location of the fluctuations was found in a darker area that appeared within the pulsating aurora. During the same time period, the EISCAT radar observed sporadic enhancements in the F-region backscatter echo power, which suggests the pres- ence of low-energy electron (1 keV or lower) precipitation coinciding with increase in amplitude of the electromagnetic wave (at the order of 10 Hz or higher). While we have not yet identified the dominant mechanism causing the fluctuations in FPI-derived wind velocity during the pulsating aurora, the frictional heating energy dissipated by the electric-field per- turbations may be responsible for the increase in ionospheric thermal energy thus modifying the local wind dynamics in the lower thermosphere.

    Characteristics are presented of the lower thermospheric wind from a long run data set obtained by the EISCAT UHF radar at Tromsø (69.6°N, 19.2°E) over ~23 days, from September 6 to 29, 2005. The derived semidiurnal amplitude exhibited day-to-day variations (~5–30 ms-1) at and above 109 km, while the phase varied little with the day. We have found a mode change of the semidiurnal tide occurring during September 17–22, 2005. Between September 6 and 16, the vertical wavelengths were estimated to be ~58 km and ~76 km for the meridional and zonal components, respectively, while between September 23 and 29, they became less than ~24 km. The day to day variability of the diurnal tide was less obvious than that of the semidiurnal tide. The diurnal amplitude of the meridional component increased with height except for 8 days between September 13 and 20, when the diurnal amplitudes were smaller values (<40 ms-1) at and above 111 km than those for the other intervals. Furthermore, the shapes of the altitude profiles of the meridional phase differ from those for the other intervals. We have evaluated contributions due to the electric field and the ion drag acceleration and showed that they were not the causes. From the analysis of 22.5 days of wind data, we found about 5–6 day oscillations in the lower thermosphere, probably where there were planetary wave activities in the lower thermosphere.

    The influence of solar activity upon ion upflow in the polar ionosphere was investigated using data obtained by the European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) Tromsø UHF radar between 1984 and 2008. In agreement with other work we find that the upward ion flux is generally higher when solar activity is high than when it is low. Ion upflow events and also the upward velocity behave the opposite: they are more frequently seen and higher, respectively, at times of low solar activity. In any year about 30–40% ion upflow is accompanied by ~500 K higher electron temperature than the background temperature at 400 km altitude. Electron and ion heating in connection with upflow is nearly twice as prevalent during high solar activity as it is at low activity. The acceleration of ions by pressure gradients and ambipolar electric field becomes larger when solar activity is low than when it is high. This variation of the average acceleration is caused by the different shapes of electron density profiles for low and high solar activities. Ions start to flow up at above 450 km altitude when solar activity was high, and lower, at 300–500 km altitude, at low solar activity. It is suggested that the solar activity influences long-term variations of the ion upflow occurrence because it modulates the density of neutral particles, the formation of the F2 density peak, and ion-neutral collision frequencies in the thermosphere and ionosphere.

    We analyzed neutral winds, ambipolar diffusion coefficients, and neutral temperatures observed by the Nippon/Norway Tromsø Meteor Radar (NTMR) and ion temperatures observed by the European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) UHF radar at Tromsø (69.6°N, 19.2°E), during a major stratospheric sudden warming (SSW) that occurred in January 2009. The zonal winds at 80–100 km height reversed approximately 10 days earlier than the zonal wind reversal in the stratosphere and the neutral temperature at 90 km decreased simultaneously with the zonal wind reversal at the same altitude. We found different variations between geomagnetically quiet nighttime ion temperatures at 101–110 km and 120–142 km for about 10 days around the SSW. Our results from the ground-based observations agree well with the satellite observations shown in an accompanying paper. Thus, this study indicates that a SSW is strongly linked to thermal structure and dynamics in the high-latitude mesosphere, lower thermosphere, and ionosphere.

    A coordinated observation of the atmospheric response to auroral energy
    input in the polar lower thermosphere was conducted during the Dynamics and
    Energetics of the Lower Thermosphere in Aurora (DELTA)
    campaign. N2 rotational temperature was measured with a rocket-borne
    instrument launched from the Andoya Rocket Range, neutral winds were
    measured from auroral emissions at 557.7 nm with a Fabry-Perot
    Interferome-ter (FPI) at Skibotn and the KEOPS, and ionospheric parameters
    were measured with the European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) UHF radar at
    Tromso. Altitude profiles of the passive energy deposition rate and the
    particle heating rate were estimated using data taken with the EISCAT radar.
    The local temperature enhancement derived from the difference between the
    observed N2 rotational temperature and the MSISE-90 model neutral
    temperature were 70-140 K at 110-140 km altitude. The temperature increase
    rate derived from the estimated heating rates, however, cannot account for
    the temperature enhancement below 120 km, even considering the contribution
    of the neutral density to the estimated heating rate. The observed upward
    winds up to 40 m s¡1 seem to respond nearly instantaneously to changes in
    the heating rates. Although the wind speeds cannot be explained by the
    estimated heating rate and the thermal expansion hypothesis, the present
    study suggests that the generation mechanism of the large vertical winds
    must be responsible for the fast response of the vertical wind to the
    heating event.

    We present quantitative radar observations of both hydrogen ion (H+) and oxygen ion (O+) upflow in the topside polar ionosphere using measurements that were recently carried out with the EISCAT Svalbard Radar and the Reimei satellite. H+ upflow was clearly observed equatorward of the cusp above 500 km altitude. Within the cusp the H+ density was very low, and the upflow was dominated by O+ ions, but on closed field lines the H+ became the larger contributor to the upward flux above about 550 km. The total flux seemed to be conserved, and so below 550 km altitude O+ (with a small upward velocity of ~50 m s–1) appeared to determine the upward flux which was then maintained by H+ in the topside ionosphere. We also found that the H+ density in the topside polar ionosphere was several times higher than current predictions of ionospheric models like IRI2001

    F region strong sunward ion flow embedded in the duskside cell of expanding polar cap ion convection and coincidental increase in the ion temperature were observed from about 73 degrees to 69 degrees in geomagnetic latitude between 16: 00 and 16: 48 MLT on 19 August, 2006 from an experiment using the European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) radars at Tromso, Sodankyla and Longyearbyen together with the CUTLASS HF radars. The spatiotemporal structure of the convection map obtained by the SuperDARN HF radars showed that the high-speed flow channel elongated in 14-17 MLT was moving equatorward. The flow channel appeared during an interval of negative interplanetary magnetic field B-z associated with large positive B-y. In order to evaluate ion frictional heating and resultant ion temperature increase quantitatively, the experiment was conducted to estimate the ion velocity vector and the ion temperature at the common scattering volume of the EISCAT radars. While the flow channel moved equatorward, the ion temperature increase became less evident at higher part of latitudes within the flow channel, which means that ion frictional heating was depressed where the neutral gases had already responded to the high-speed ions. The increase in the ion temperature at particular geomagnetic latitude continued for about 20 min, and then ceased while the ion velocity was still enhanced. Ion frictional heating lasted until the neutral wind was accelerated to the equivalent level of the surrounded ion flow.

    A case study with simultaneous European Incoherent Scatter and optical auroral observations was conducted in order to determine characteristics of the magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling from the viewpoint of the electrodynamics in the ionosphere. Particularly focused on were the relationships between ionospheric electron density depletion, perpendicular electric fields, and proton auroras. Intense electron density depletion was observed in the E and F regions poleward and in the vicinity of a thin equatorward moving arc. This depletion was associated with an intense, equatorward perpendicular electric field close to similar to 80 mV/m and most likely with a downward field-aligned current (FAC), but it did not accompany detectable proton aurora. Hence the downward FA electric field in the lower magnetosphere associated with this depletion was weak or absent. The motion of the FAC system with the depletion and the arc presumably enabled the downward FAC to obtain enough current carriers as ionospheric electrons were lost by the evacuation process. The evacuation process associated with the downward FAC was, however, efficient enough to establish the depletion. On the other hand, a widely distributed proton aurora observed immediately after the depletion was associated with an intense, equatorward perpendicular electric field close to 90 mV/m, enhanced electron density, and most likely a downward FAC. No electron precipitation was associated with this proton aurora. Thus the electron density enhancement, providing the downward current carriers, had to be caused by the ionization of precipitating protons presumably accelerated by downward field-aligned electric fields in the lower magnetosphere.

    Simultaneous observation with the Sondrestrom incoherent-scatter (IS) radar and the Reimei satellite was conducted on 3 October 2007. The objective was to measure horizontal patterns of the ionospheric structure in the vicinity of an auroral arc. The IS radar was scanned azimuthally with a fixed elevation angle, and the satellite narrow-view camera (557.7 nm) was directed downward taking pictures every 0.12 s. A stationary auroral arc was captured at 05: 17 UT (02: 54 MLT) with both instruments simultaneously. Gross ionospheric features measured with the IS radar around the arc were in good agreement with the expected magnetosphere-ionosphere current system. Of particular interest was the horizontal pattern in the ion speed and temperature in the F region. The ion speed within the arc was close to zero; by contrast the larger ion speed (350-400 m s(-1)) on the poleward side was parallel to the arc and almost no horizontal shear within about 20 km width perpendicular to the arc. This area was separated into two parts by the ion temperature: one was associated with clear enhancements in excess of 1200 K, and another was with more moderate enhancements (less than similar to 1000 K). The widths of the two areas were approximately 10 km each. The horizontal shear seen in the ion temperature suggested the presence of a narrow thermospheric wind shear of about 10 km width. This paper suggests that the possible cause for the thermospheric wind shear was ion drag associated with localized soft particle precipitation or F-region ionization.

    We have investigated how geomagnetic activity, the solar wind (SW), and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) influence the occurrence of the F-region/topside ionospheric ion upflow and downflow. Occurrence of dayside ion upflow observed with the European Incoherent Scatter Svalbard radar (ESR) at 75.2 degrees magnetic latitude is highly correlated with the SW density, as well as with the strength of the IMF By component. We suggest that this correlation exists because the region where ion upflow occurs is enlarged owing to SW density and IMF By magnitude, but it does not move significantly in geomagnetic latitude. The occurrence frequency of dayside ion upflow displays peaks versus the geomagnetic activity index (Kp), SW velocity, and negative IMF Bz component; that is, ion upflow is less frequently seen at the highest values of these parameters. Dayside ion downflow in the F-region/topside ionosphere occurs only when the Kp index and/or SW velocity are high or when IMF Bz is largely negative. The ion downflow is likely due to ballistic return of the ion upflow. We suggest that the region of ion upflow not only becomes larger but also moves equatorward with increasing Kp, SW velocity, and negative IMF Bz. The ESR can so be poleward of the upflow region and observe ions convecting poleward and returning ballistically downward.

    e analyzed data obtained with the European incoherent scatter (EISCAT) Svalbard Radar (ESR) at Longyearbyen (78.2 degrees N, 16.0 degrees E in geographic coordinates, 75.2 degrees Lambda in invariant latitude) to advance our understanding of the acceleration mechanism of the lower thermospheric neutral wind when the ionospheric convection becomes enhanced. The Advanced Composition Explorer satellite observed a southward turning in the interplanetary magnetic field at 0843 UT on 16 June 2005. At 0900 UT, the F region ion velocity and the lower thermospheric neutral wind ( at 118-km altitude) observed with the ESR began to accelerate significantly in the westward and northwestward directions, respectively. The neutral wind was remarkably accelerated within 1 hour from 0900 UT, and its speed became a value of similar to 500 m s(-1) at 1000 UT. The wind speed was significantly higher than a typical wind speed at 118 km. We evaluated the ion drag contribution on the generation of the high-speed neutral wind. Our evaluation verifies that the ion drag force could not generate the high- speed neutral wind within such a short time (similar to 1 hour). This result implies that the major driving force was the horizontal pressure gradient force induced by the Joule heating. We deduced the contribution of the pressure gradient force based on a quantitative estimation of the Joule-heating-induced pressure gradient from the ESR and the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network data. We concluded that the pressure gradient force was the most probable force in this event.

    Strong radar returns at VHF known as Polar Mesospheric Winter Echoes (PMWE) seem to occur during periods of intense ionisation of the mesosphere. Apart from a
    mechanism to produce such ionisation, viz. solar proton precipitation, other prerequisites have been proposed, such as neutral air turbulence. Here, we employ a medium
    frequency radar to examine whether the atmospheric state is conducive to the appearance
    of PMWE; echo power signatures (isolated lower mesospheric echoes – “ILME")
    are indicators of the necessary ionisation at sufficient depth in the middle atmosphere,
    and also echo fading times give information on turbulence. We fail to find evidence for causal relationship between ILME and turbulence but suggest that on occasion turbulence
    may be enhanced related to proton precipitation. The results presented provide
    a basis for investigating whether turbulence is a prerequisite for PMWE.

    Using the European incoherent scatter (EISCAT) Svalbard radar located in Longyearbyen
    (78.2° N, 16.0° E) and with the EISCAT UHF radar located in Troms? (69.6° N, 19.2° E),
    we have analyzed the data obtained for six consecutive days from 1000 UT on 1 July 1999 to 1000 UT on 7 July 1999 to investigate the importance of ion drag on the lower thermospheric wind dynamics in the summer polar region. The electric field observed at Longyearbyen exhibited a stable diurnal variation primarily occurring throughout the first three days of observations, while during the latter three days the diurnal variation was not clearly identified. The electric field observed at Troms? did not exhibit such a stable variation. On the basis of the difference of the electric field variation observed at Longyearbyen, we divided the data sets into two intervals with a length of three days each. We compared the horizontal velocities of the ions and the neutral gases. At upper heights (~110-120 km) on the first three days, the difference between the ion and neutral motion was clearly identified at Longyearbyen, while it was not at Troms?. We compared the diurnal tidal amplitudes and phases of the two intervals derived from the Longyearbyen data. The amplitude of the meridional diurnal tide for the first three days was larger than that of the latter three days over the height region between 100 and 118 km at Longyearbyen. Furthermore, we compared ion drag accelerations with total accelerations. We concluded that the ion drag played an important role in the diurnal amplitude at Longyearbyen on the first three days of the observations. In addition, we compared the NCAR Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere-Electrodynamics general circulation model (TIME-GCM) predictions with the observations. The TIME-GCM predictions also indicated that the diurnal tide is influenced by the convection electric field.

    From simultaneous observations of the European incoherent scatter Svalbard radar (ESR) and the Cooperative U.K. Twin Located Auroral Sounding System (CUTLASS) Finland radar on March 9, 1999, we have derived the height distributions of the thermospheric heating rate at the F region height in association with electromagnetic energy inputs into the dayside polar cap/cusp region. The ESR and CUTLASS radar observations provide the ionospheric parameters with fine time-resolutions of a few minutes. Although the geomagnetic activity was rather moderate (Kp = 3+ ~ 4), the electric field obtained from the ESR data sometimes shows values exceeding 40 mV/m. The estimated passive energy deposition rates are also larger than 150 W/kg in the upper thermosphere over the ESR site during the period of the enhanced electric field. In addition, enhancements of the Pedersen conductivity also contribute to heating the upper thermosphere, while there is only a small contribution for thermospheric heating from the direct particle heating due to soft particle precipitation in the dayside polar cap/cusp region. In the same period, the CUTLASS observations of the ion drift show the signature of poleward moving pulsed ionospheric flows with a recurrence rate of about 10–20 minutes. The estimated electromagnetic energy deposition rate shows the existence of the strong heat source in the dayside polar cap/cusp region of the upper thermosphere in association with the dayside magnetospheric phenomena of reconnections and flux transfer events.

    We have examined the temporal development of an established proxy for turbulent intensity for the mesosphere/lower thermosphere region above Tromsoe (70°N, 19°E) for the period 1999 to present. We find an indication of steadily increasing turbulence in the mid-mesosphere, the height of the demarcation between positive and negative trends varying somewhat with season. Although beyond the scope of this study, anthropological sources, causing lower atmosphere warming and upper atmosphere cooling, are strong candidates for the underlying cause of the trend.

    This paper aims at describing the ionospheric conditions during the DELTA campaign period based on EISCAT radar observations conducted at Tromsoe (69.6°N, 19.2°E). Observed electron densities and derived electric fields by the EISCAT UHF radar indicate that magnetospheric activity was high during the period from December 5 to 13 except for the night of December 13. Derived semidiurnal amplitudes during December 9-12, 2004 exhibited a day to day variation at and below 110 km. Neutral and electron temperatures measured by the DELTA rocket were compared with neutral/ion and electron temperatures from the EISCAT UHF radar observations. Comparison of neutral/ion temperatures show some agreement, while poor agreements were found for the electron temperature. Possible causes of the discrepancy are discussed.

    Simultaneous Incoherent Scatter radar observations using two EISCAT radars, the Troms? (69.6°N, 19.2°E) UHF radar and the EISCAT Svalbard radar (Longyearbyen 78.2°N, 16.0°E) were conducted for eight consecutive days, from November 11 to 19, 2003, to study the lower thermospheric wind dynamics in the polar region. This kind of long-run data sets was rare, and this was the first 8-day long run made in winter by the EISCAT Troms? radar. Derived wind data were analyzed, in particular, in terms of the latitudinal difference of the mean wind and diurnal and semidiurnal tides as well as the presence of the quasi-two day wave (Q2DW) in the lower thermosphere.

    Authorship:Principal investigator  Grant type:Competitive

    Grant amount:\17680000 ( Direct Cost: \13600000 、 Indirect Cost:\4080000 )

    We conducted observational studies of the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere which is the transient region between the earth atmosphere and the space with the multi-beam lidar, EISCAT radars, a photometer, a millimeter-wave spectrometer, and a digital camera operated at Tromsoe (69.6 deg N, 19.2 deg E). A new receiver system utilizing a 60 cm telescope was developed and installed into the multi-beam lidar: this addition enabled us to observe temperature, wind velocity, and sodium density with 3 times higher signals along the vertical direction. We obtained new findings based on (1) a detailed investigation of the formation of an additional sodium density peak at altitudes of 79-85 km below the main peak of the sodium layer by using sodium lidar and all-sky imager (OH) data, (2) an investigation of 630 nm emission timing by using photometer and spectrograph data, and (3) an investigation of change of the turbopause altitude over 25 years from 1996 to 2021 by using MF radar data.

    ひまわり全球輝度データを活用し, データ解析と数値シミュレーションによって, 夜光雲の特性量 (粒径分布, 追跡風速) を推定する手法を開発する. その際, 地上光学観測 (ライダー観測, 分光器観測) による関連データを参照しながら推定手法の検証・評価を通じて科学探究に耐え得る定量的な夜光雲特性量の推定手法を確立していく. そして, 定常的なひまわりデータに準リアルタイムで特性量計算のデータ処理を適用してウェブサイトで情報公開する一連のパイプラインを構築することで, 夜光雲の定量観測を通じて地球温暖化現象の一端である超高層寒冷化を定常監視するシステムを完成させる.
    ひまわり 8 号による全球輝度画像データから夜光雲を自動検出する手法の開発を進めた. 輝度値の小さい (暗い) 夜光雲も検出する為に, 背景光成分に含まれる大気分子のレイリー散乱光成分を再現・除去した後に閾値判定で夜光雲/極中間圏雲による散乱光を抽出する方法を考案し, 検出感度を向上させた. 本手法で自動検出した夜光雲データの検証として, 夜光雲観測で実績のある NASA の低軌道人工衛星 Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) の夜光雲観測データと比較した結果, 非常に良い一致が見られ, 本手法の十分な有効性が示された. 以上の研究成果について論文として纏め, 学術雑誌にて発表した [Tsuda et al., ESS, 2022]. 並行して, ひまわり 8 号で観測される夜光雲構造の時空間変動を解析し, 夜光雲の構造追跡を行うことで, 背景大気の風速 (追跡風速) を推定する手法の開発も進めた. 推定手法の検証として, 推定した追跡風速の平均成分が中間圏界面付近 (夜光雲発生領域) の基本的な平均風速と概ね一致することを確認し, 本手法の妥当性が示された. 追跡風速の変動成分 (大気波動成分) については, 1 日 (24 時間) 周期成分, 半日 (12 時間) 周期成分に加え, 14.8 時間周期成分が観測された. このような夜光雲の地方時変動特性の観測は, ひまわり 8 号の静止軌道を活かした独自の観測であり, 夜光雲観測に新しい視点を提供する意義があると考える. 以上の研究成果について論文として纏め, 学術雑誌にて発表した [Hozumi et al., JGR, 2021].
    ひまわり 8 号による夜光雲の自動検出手法の開発について, 概ね当初の計画通りに進展し, 学術論文 [Tsuda et al., ESS, 2022] として発表したところ, Editor's Highlight (選出率: 2% 未満) に選出された. 加えて, 夜光雲の追跡風速の推定手法の開発についても重要な進展が見られ, 学術論文 [Hozumi et al., JGR, 2021] として発表した.
    今後の方策として, 夜光雲特性量の推定手法の開発を中心に以下の内容を実施することを予定している.
    (1) 夜光雲 自動検出 - 昨年度開発した可視 1 バンドの検出手法を可視 3 バンドに展開し, 複数バンドの検出結果を比較していく.
    (2) 夜光雲 粒径分布 解析 - 解析の高精度化の為に, 地表面からの反射光や大気のレイリー散乱光による寄与を考慮した計算方法の開発に取 組む.
    (3) 夜光雲 追跡風速 解析 - 昨年度に開発した解析手法を長期データに適用し, 追跡風速のデータベース作成を進める.
    (4) 地上光学観測 分光器 - 次年度以降の連携観測に向けて, 小型可視分光器の設計・製作に着手する.
    (5) 地上光学観測 ライダー - 次年度以降の連携観測に向けて, 観測装置の保守整備を実施すると共に観測計画を立案する.

    国際宇宙ステーション(ISS)から宇宙飛行士が市販のデジタルカメラを用いて撮影した地球の画像が,NASAのウェブサイトにおいて公開されている.これらのISSデジカメ画像は,言わば「見えたまま」の画像であり,カメラの向きや画角,歪み,撮像時刻などの「カメラパラメータ」の情報が存在しない.本研究は「ISSデジカメ画像のジオロケーションを決定する手法」 を確立し,科学データとして再生する.さらに,「デジカメ画像のRGB色空間情報からオーロラ電子のエネルギーを推定する手法」 を確立し,オーロラ電子エネルギーの広域マップを導出する.

    本年度は,ISS からのデジタルカメラ観測で得られた画像の RGB チャンネルの発光強度比を用いて,オーロラ降下電子エネルギーを定性的に求めることに取り組んだ.特に,G チャンネルと B チャンネルの比に着目することで,脈動オーロラと呼ばれる発光強度が時間的に変動するオーロラについてエネルギー推定を行い,脈動オーロラが明るくなった時間帯に,より高いエネルギーの電子が降下していることを示した.この成果を Journal of Geophysical Research 誌に発表し,国際学会でも報告を行った.また,上記のデータ解析と並行して,機械学習を用いたオーロラの自動検出システムの開発に取り組み,高い精度でオーロラの発生を検知することができることを確認した.現在,この自動検出に関する成果は,英文論文として学術雑誌に投稿されており,現在査読プロセスへの対応を行っている.
    本年度は,ISS からデジタルカメラを用いて撮像されたディスクリートオーロラ,ディフューズオーロラを含む画像について,街明かりとの比較からカメラパラメータを決定し,地理座標上にマップする作業を行った.さらに,その結果を地上からのオーロラ観測と比較することで,マッピングの精度がオーロラのサイエンスを行うために十分なものであることを確認した.また,デジタルカメラの RGB チャンネルの発光強度比を用いて,オーロラ降下電子エネルギーを定性的に求めることにも取り組んだ.特に,G チャンネルと B チャンネルの比を用いることで,脈動オーロラと呼ばれる発光強度が時間的に変動するオーロラについてエネルギー推定を行い,オーロラの増光時に,より高いエネルギーの電子が降下していることを示した.これらの作業をもって,当初予定していた ISS デジタルカメラ画像の初期解析をさせることができた.これらの成果については,Journal of Geophysical Research 誌に 2 編の論文として発表されている.
    これらの作業と並行して,ノルウェートロムソにおいて実施する予定の ISS に搭載されているものと同型のデジタルカメラによる地上実験を行うための観測システムの開発を行った.特に,ジンバルと呼ばれる機器を導入し,オーロラが発生した時間帯にカメラを所望の方向に向けることができるシステムの製作を進めてきている.本年度はコロナ禍のためにノルウェーにおける機器設置作業を行うことができなかったが,2022 年度秋には海外出張が行えることを想定した準備を継続している.
    2022 年度前半に,「ジンバルによるカメラ撮像方向の制御」「機械学習を用いたオーロラ発生の検出」の技術開発を完了させ,オーロラが発生した時間に自律的にオーロラ発生領域に向けて観測を行う「自動オーロラ観測ロボット」を製作する.2022 年度秋にノルウェーへ渡航し,機器の設置を行い,冬季のオーロラ観測を実施する.この観測によって得られたカラーデジタルカメラ画像と欧州非干渉散乱レーダー(EISCAT)による電子密度観測実験を組み合わせることで,オーロラの色(RGB チャンネルの比率)からオーロラ降下電子のエネルギーを定量的に導出する手法を確立する.最終的には,この手法を ISS から撮像されたオーロラの広域観測画像に適用することで,オーロラ降下電子のエネルギーを広い領域において定量的に可視化することを目指す.

    This study aims to understand the influence of energetic particle precipitation (EPP) on the global atmospheric environment from the stratosphere to the lower thermosphere through simultaneous observations from Syowa Station in the Antarctic region and the EISCAT Tromsoe site in the Arctic region. By introducing new technologies, we aimed to expand the range of observational information and improve data quality.
    Due to the COVID19 that prevented us from traveling to the Arctic region, we could not complete the observational research as we originally planned, but we succeeded in installing a multi-frequency millimeter-wave spectrometer and a spectral riometer at Syowa Station and began observations. In particular, the uniquely developed multi-frequency millimeter-wave spectrometer using a waveguide-type frequency multiplexer realized the world's first simultaneous ground-based observations of O3, NO, CO, and HO2 in millimeter waves.

    Existing ‘absolute’ temperature measurement techniques in the mesopause region using radar meteor echoes need empirical atmospheric parameters such as vertical temperature gradient, which may not always be appropriate. We have developed a technique without need for additional information other than meteor radar data by combining the existence method and the ‘relative’ temperature measurement technique which we developed in 1990s.
    In the course of the present study, we have found for the first time that meteor trails in the polar region can diffuse much faster than usual under geomagnetically disturbed conditions. Through comparison with incoherent radar and Na temperature lidar measurements we further found that highly enhanced electron temperature was responsible for the anomalous diffusion. Such electron temperature enhancement in the polar mesosphere has not been known so far, and is expected to be useful for coupling studies between neutral and ionized atmospheres.
